Fact-check summary

Verified against Frandroid (Ulrich Rozier, Oct 12) citing Bloomberg's Mark Gurman Oct 11 newsletter: ~$799 US price, $599 current 128 GB model, 689 euros on Apple Store France (559 euros before late June), ~15% gap -> ~920 euros estimate, iPad Air 819 euros / base iPad 509 euros in France, end-of-October event with OLED MacBook Pro, Oct 13 smart-home presentation. Quality-watch fixed two draft errors before publishing: 628.50 euros (an Amazon listing, not Apple's price) and a false claim that the iPad Air starts at $799 and base iPad at $599 in the US.

1 caveat
  • ▲Pricing is Mark Gurman's report; the 920-euro figure is Frandroid's own estimate, not a leak.

Frandroid: OLED iPad mini expected near $799 in US, around 920€ in France

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the next iPad mini, expected at the end of October with an OLED display, will cost close to $799 in the US, up from $599 today. That would place it above the 11-inch iPad Air in Apple's US lineup, and Frandroid estimates it would cost around 920 euros in France if the current pricing gap holds.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports the OLED iPad mini will cost close to $799 in the US, up from $599 for the current 128 GB model. Frandroid estimates about 920 euros in France if Apple keeps its current price gap; the current model sells for 689 euros there. The tablet is expected at an end-of-October event with OLED MacBook Pros. Apple has not confirmed pricing.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported in his October 11 newsletter that the next iPad mini will cost close to $799 in the United States, Frandroid reports.

Current model starts at $599. The iPad mini 7, launched in 2024, starts at $599 for the 128 GB version. In France, the same model lists for 689 euros on Apple's store, up from 559 euros before Apple raised prices at the end of June.
Gurman noted the tablet would be the first iPad mini with an OLED display.
Gurman described the new tablet as considerably more expensive than its predecessor. At about $799, it would sit above the 11-inch iPad Air in Apple's US lineup.

France price estimated near 920 euros. No European pricing has leaked. Frandroid estimates that if Apple keeps its current gap between US and French prices, about 15% with VAT included in France, a $799 iPad mini would land around 920 euros.

Frandroid calls that a back-of-the-envelope estimate. For comparison, the iPad Air starts at 819 euros in France and the base iPad at 509 euros.

Entry-level storage may rise with the OLED model. Frandroid says base storage could also increase, as it did when Apple moved the 11-inch iPad Pro to OLED in 2024 and doubled its starting storage to 256 GB. The tablet is expected to be the first iPad mini with an OLED display, alongside thinner bezels, revised speakers, the A20 Pro chip from the iPhone 18 Pro and a relocated front camera.

Apple is expected to unveil the device at an event planned for the end of October, alongside MacBook Pro models with OLED displays. Before that, Apple holds a smart-home presentation on October 13.
